‘Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.’ – Franz Kafka

A while ago DC asked me to help ’em out with the art and direction of this book they were makin’ in a collaboration with André Platteel, a dutch well known author on (mostly) visual culture and Dennis Duijnhouwer, who did the (splendid) photography. I had me some fun talking on youth (and with youths) and deciding especially what not to do with form and coming up with this ‘forever friends’ section in which I tried to show the diversity within the similarity of eight of the books main characters.

I think it became an eye opening book on the youth of today and I especially like that it holds the promise of a somewhat more ‘opened up’ future of thought. More info through post editions. Good collaboration, everyone!

Nice to meet you, André Platteel, Maikel van Berkel and Josien Dragt.
